1.7. Design and Operation Overview
1.7.1. Principle of Operation
CIU-003 TV Signal Analyzer is a receiver of DVB-C and DVB-T signals with demodulation to the
MPEG-2 transport stream and its further analysis. The input tuner is a triple superheterodyne
receiver with auto or manual frequency tuning. Modulation error ratio MER is measured in the
process of QAM signal demodulation based on vector analysis. Bit error rate BER in digital stream
is determined by means of analyzing the Reed-Solomon and (or) Viterbi decoder operation.
Channel power is measured using analog-to-digital converter after signal peak detection at output
of logarithmic detector of the third IF amplifier.
8
Analog channel audio broadcasting monitoring performs by measuring demodulated sound
signal with an analog-to-digital converter
1
.
The Analyzer is continuously measuring the channel parameters in the selected channel plan
and according to the selected channel template. The results of digital DVB-C/ DVB-T channel
measurement are values of actual channel power level, MER, BER before and after the Reed-
Solomon/Viterbi decoder. And the results of analog channel measurement are the values of signal
level, video to audio ratio and video carrier to noise ratio within the video channel bandwidth. The
MPEG transport stream is checked for compliance with ETSI TR101290 standard requirements
(priority 1 and 2).
The measured parameters are stored in the non-volatile memory of the Analyzer together with
the time and date of measurement for each channel. The CIU-003 Analyzer can store up to 80
measurement cycles (one cycle includes measurement of all channels in the channel plan). After
the saved measurement results are transferred to a remote PC with installed ViewRSA software,
the corresponding memory cells become available for saving the next measurement results. Thus
all the measurement results can be stored in the ViewRSA database for any period of time.

After passing the Low-Pass Filter (LPF), the input signal, if necessary, is strengthened by the
Wide-Band Amplifier (WBA) or reduced by the Attenuator (A). Then it is transformed by the double-
conversion TV Tuner (T) into the second 39 MHz IF signal in the level measurement mode or into
the second 36.125 MHz IF signal in the DBV-C/DVB-T signal demodulation mode.

For hardware modification 2.14.2 or higher
The second IF signal is converted in the Mixer (M) by means of the 28.3 MHz Local Oscillator
(LO) into the third IF signal, and further filtered by 10.7 MHz filter (BPF3), which also determines
the receiver bandwidth.
Logarithmic Gain Amplifier Limiter (LGAL) performs logarithmation and signal detection.
Peak Detector (PD) enables the measurement of the video carrier level by means of Analogue-
to-Digital Converter (ADC). The digital code of the input signal peak level logarithm is defined as
real value and corrected in accordance with the calibration matrix of the Control Unit (CU)
microcontroller.
From the LGAL limiter output signal is forwarding to the frequency detector with the built in
analog-to-digital converter, and as a result, demodulated and digitalized signal is processed with
the control unit. This allows to perform analog channel audio brouadcasting monitoring
1
.
In digital DVB-C/DVB-T signal demodulation mode the second IF signal is filtered by the
Bandpass Filter (BPF2) and supplied to the DVB-C/DVB-T Demodulator (DD), which performs
demodulation and measurement of signal parameters. The measured results are processed by the
Control Unit.
The Control Unit (CU) uses the Control Interfaces (CI) to support the Analyzer operation with
ViewRSA software and receive the commands entered by the user during the Analyzer
configuration via COM port.
The nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) stores factory calibration coefficients, channel template,
channel plan, limit plan, measurement logs, and service information.
The Mains Adapter (MA) forms the required voltages from an external power source.
1.7.3. Component Arrangement
CIU-003 TV Signal Analyzer is made in 19’’/1U steel shockproof sectional housing that includes
printed and three-dimensional wiring. The Analyzer dimensions are 483x163x44 mm.
The front panel of the Analyzer (see Figure 1.1) has the POWER indicator (index 1) and holes
for mounting the Analyzer on the rack (index 2). The back panel of the Analyzer (see Figure 1.2)

included into the Analyzer package. Also you can download this file from our web-site
www.planar.chel.ru.
b) add the Analyzer to the monitoring system. You should set the following parameters of
SNMP protocol:
- communication protocol: SNMPv1;
- SNMP protocol port: 161;
- port for trap reception: 162;
- read password: public;
- write password: public.
c) make sure the Analyzer is working correctly by viewing one of the standard nodes of MIB-
2 tree;
d) configure the IP addresses of trap recipients (see Section 3.5.2);
e) restart the Analyzer and make sure the SNMP-manager received the Coldstart trap.

b) select and view the name of the monitored network node;
c) control the measurement process: change the measurement interval, start and stop the
measurement process;
d) view and set time and date of the Analyzer;
e) restart the Analyzer;
f) set the IP addresses of trap recipients (up to 3 addresses);
g) view the Analyzer channel plan parameters: channel name, channel type and frequency;
h) view the last measurement results for each channel: signal level, video/audio ratio,
signal/noise ratio, MER value, BER value before and after Reed-Solomon decoder;
i) view the results of the last limit test;
j) check current temperature inside the Analyzer;
k) receive the traps from the Analyzer with the following data: firmware and hardware errors of
the device, temperature errors (when temperature value is beyond the allowed range), and
also the results of channel measurement, which failed the limit test.
You can find the list of all CIU-003 branch nodes and more detailed information about them in
the Appendix.
3.6. Updating Firmware
You can update the firmware of CIU-003 TV Signal Analyzer without use of any additional
equipment. We go on with development of the devices and keep on working out new firmware
versions that provide new features. These new firmware versions are available for free download
on our website
www.planar.chel.ru in the section that describes CIU-003 Analyzer. Each version of
the firmware has its unique identification number, e.g. 14.0.0.3. You can see the current device
firmware version in configuration terminal window (see Section 3.3.5), by using ViewRSA and also
in the SoftVersion node if you operate the Analyzer via SNMP protocol (see Appendix).
You should proceed as follows to update your firmware:
a) connect your Analyzer to a free COM port of the PC by using a standard cable;
b) create a new folder on your PC for new firmware, e.g. CIU003_Update. Copy
CIU002_SoftLoader installer-program into this folder from our website. CIU002_SoftLoader
requires WindowsXP or Windows Vista operating system. It provides communication with the
Analyzer and downloads new firmware onto it;
c) download new firmware into CIU003_Update folder from our website (file name contains the
number of program version with .bsk extension, e.g. 14_0_0_3.bsk) and copy the file describing
changes to the firmware (file with .txt extension);
d) start CIU002_SoftLoader on your PC (see Figure 3.19). Select COM port of PC, which
connects it to your CIU-003;
e) select the file with new version of CIU-003 firmware by clicking button for file opening (index
1 in Figure 3.19). Find the required file in the standard file selection dialog and click ОК;
f) click Start and follow the instructions of the program. First, a warning notice will appear
advising you to power off your CIU-003 Analyzer and check the connection of the cable to the PC
COM port. Then another data window will appear; follow its instructions.

If your CIU-003 functions properly, COM-port cable is connected correctly, appropriate COM
port is selected, and the firmware to be downloaded is compatible with the Analyzer, the process of
downloading will start automatically. When the downloading is over, a pop-up window will
announce that the task has been successfully completed. The Analyzer will reboot and turn on in
the similar mode as if first time switched on.
CAUTION Do not interrupt the loading process. This can lead to malfunction of
the Analyzer. But, if this does occur, repeat the process of program update.
4. MAINTENANCE
Required maintenance is limited to following the instructions related to proper operation, storage
and shipment, which are given in this Manual and also minor defects correction.
